Leave it be. They don't care, and it just clutters up their inbox.
I'd like to thank you for this thread.
Thank You for your appreciation of this threadMMike said:
I do not thank them. I don't thank people for doing their basic jobs. And like Smelly said, they don't care.
Personally, I get annoyed when people at work send me e-mails that only contain "Thanks." I've already got a thousand messages to sort through without more crap to open.

I'd like to thank all of you..... but I won't.
Generally not, but if someone goes beyond my expectations (either in how they deal with me or in how they solve my problem) I will. But it's usually more than just a thank you... something like, "Thanks for taking care of this issue. Service like this is why I'm happy to business with <company name> and why I recommend you to my friends/coworkers/whomever."
I agree with that. If someone goes above and beyond, it is nice to send out a "thank you" note. I like to do this, because this employee can show the email or note to their boss...jacksonpt said:
In general, no. If it's a special effort, yes.
i have to say, a thank you once in awhile is nice. i used to be in tech support and typically the only people who would follow up would be with something negative. so... i think if someone goes above and beyond and thank you may be appreciated.
Again, if it's a question about something outside the scope that they look into and provide information on, I do say thanks.

I have several co-workers that respond to EVERY email they receive. I only respond to emails with information requests or questions in them.
Depends on the formality, but usually if it's less formal and we're just shooting emails across the office. If I do I try to make it more than just "thanks -A". What I hate is when I send an important email about one of our programs and get NO response at all. That drives me nuts.the Inbred said:
if its a very large company and they send me a generic, cookie cutter email, then no i will not send a 'thank you' email. but if it is a smaller company or they really take the time to help me out then i usually will reply with how it went and i make sure to say thanks for the help.
